About this map

North Moreau Creek meanders through the central hills of Cole County, defining a landscape of small agricultural settlements and rural parish life in the late 1960s. The village of Lohman serves as a local hub, anchored by St Pauls Ch, while nearby Logan and Stringtown mark the path of historical community growth along the winding ridges. To the north, the Pacific Railroad follows the contours near Elston, connecting the region to larger trade networks.

Suburban development begins to push westward from the state capital, visible in the growing footprints of Apache Flats and the residential streets surrounding Binder Memorial Park. For genealogists, the map is a primary record of family-named landmarks and resting places, from the Old Catholic Cem and Stone Cem to the Gordon Cem and Wilkerson Cem, many of which remain tucked away near the banks of the Moreau River.
